LG TabBook 11 brings together Intel, a keyboard, and Android in unholy matrimony

LG is showing off a new Android tablet, with specs you wouldn't ever expect to see in an Android tablet. The LG TabBook 11 runs Android, but features a sliding keyboard and laptop internals — an Intel Core i5 CPU, 4GB of RAM and a 128GB SSD for internal storage. The addition of two full-size USB 3.0 ports and HDMI as well as an 11.6-inch IPS display out round out the specifications. All this is running Android 4.2.2, and LG says the experience should be "optimal."

We're not sure why anyone would need this sort of hardware to run Android, but for those that do, LG may just have what you're looking for — though we have a feeling we won't be seeing this one in the west anytime soon.
